Approaches to Treatment and Education
Treatment and Approaches
Research over the past several years has provided a clearer understanding of Autism Spectrum
Disorders. This research has led to better approaches and interventions. The face of autism is
changing and early diagnosis is still the key!
There is still no known cure for ASDs. However, early and intensive education can help children grow
and learn new skills. The goal of these efforts is to improve the child's skills that help him or her talk,
interact, play, learn and care for his or her needs.
Here are different approaches and treatments that are currently used. Keep in mind that every
individual is different and not everyone will react or obtain the same results from these techniques.
We recommend you consult with a health care professional before implementing any of these
approaches.

Behavioral Based Treatment An effective and popular treatment is called Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). This treatment program uses general principles of behavioral therapy to build the skills that children with autism lack, such as language, play, self help, social, academic and attention skills. New Brunswick preschool children with autism spectrum disorder and their families now have access to a new intervention-services system involving seven newly approved agencies that provide specialized services across the province. All preschool children newly diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder can now be served through one of the approved agencies. For the complete list of approved agencies in New Brunswick, click on "Bahavioral Based Treatment" on our menu or call us directly at 855-9032. We would be pleased to help you through this process! |
